Arrest in bomb threat vs. Post BY BARBARA ROSS, KERRY BURKE and MAKI BECKER DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS A Manhattan newsstand owner was being held without bail yesterday after allegedly threatening to blow up the New York Post's circulation office for publishing controversial photos of Saddam Hussein. Nagi Nashal, 53, a Yemeni immigrant, was arraigned Monday night on charges of making a terrorist threat - a state law enacted in the days after the Sept. 11 attacks - and of falsely reporting an incident. His family claims another man made the telephone threat. "Nagi loves America," said his half-brother, Mothana Alorir, 56, who works with Nashel. "We make money for our families. Nagi is not for Saddam." Nashal, who has lived in the United States for two decades, allegedly called the newspaper's W. 18th St. circulation office Saturday morning, according to court papers. A Post worker traced the call back to Nashal's First Ave. business, 1437 Candy Store. Cops questioned Nashal, who, they say, admitted making the bomb threat. They arrested him and searched his store and his apartment but found nothing suspicious. Criminal Court Justice Evelyn Laporte ordered Nashal held without bail until Friday for his next court appearance. Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Adam Kauff argued that Nashal was a flight risk because he often traveled back to Yemen and sent money to family there. "It's ridiculous," countered Nashal's Legal Aid lawyer, Michelle Gelernt, who pointed out Nashal is a naturalized U.S. citizen. Alorir and another co-worker insisted that a livery cab driver overheard Nashal calling the Post about a newspaper delivery, then asked to borrow the phone. They said the cabbie hit the redial button, made the threat and left the store. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
